2 days...
These are the last pics before I have it in my hands, taken a couple of days ago.
The bridge is coming along nicely:
Onto the guitar:
Time for some frets - those ends look sharp to me!
Now that looks much more comfortable...
Some bridge pins...
And, finally, strings! I don't think the saddle slots or set-up is done yet - the guitar is "resting" with the strings in tension, and set-up will follow.
I must say though, this pic really "does it" for me. Very excited now!
That's it. Over and out.
There will be some pics of its delivery into my hands this coming Thursday, followed by some general guitar-fun I'm guessing - Jason and Michael Watts are coming up here. There will be the inevitable A-B comparisons, but I've sold some nice guitars to make way for this so the comparisons won't be as interminable as usual.
It's then off to a summer get-together at a friend's house Saturday, that has become a bit of an annual event here in the UK. I know there will be some astonishing guitars there (including Sobell, Bown, Kinnaird, Petros, Baranik, Traugott, Forster, Greenfield, Brook) so I'm looking forward to hearing how this one stands up. Fingers crossed!
Cheers,
Steve
